Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:I recall this from, God, 1969? Dan Blocker of BONANZA starred in a tv movie called SOMETHING FOR A LONELY MAN. (May have posted about this before.) Seems the town blacksmith is in bad repute because he lead these folks to settle a town, excellent prospects, 'til the railroad passed it by. It's been 36 years since I've seen it for the only time, but he contrives a scheme to salvage an engine from a watery grave. If he does, the railroad will connect the town with the lines... (Just riffing there..it's been so long. But it was =something= like that.) Great line I recall for sure: Dan's character is asked by some kind of big shot, "Are you =insane=, man?" And the blacksmith replies, "Well, sir...opinions kinda divided on that."


Sounds like the book"Bendigo Shafter". Good book! It's an epic novel of the creation of a town in the old west.

Believe me, if you've never seen this, check it. I assure you'll scream at last sequences. At the last scene, still I remember I screamed and gasped.

Cast:Carol Kane, Charles Durning.

Saw a preview of this while watching Supernatural on the WB....Couldn't really get a feel for it. Hope they don't doink it up like they have so many other movies.
